Donald Trump doesn’t just want to appear on Fox News — he’d like to program the network too.
The presidential candidate and active Twitter user fired off some tweets Thursday to criticize FNC for its use of political analyst Karl Rove.
“.@FoxNews You shouldn’t have @KarlRove on the air — he’s a clown with zero credibility — a Bushy!” Trump tweeted.
“.@KarlRove wasted $400 million and didn’t win one race — a total loser. @FoxNews.”
The $400 million number cited by Trump represents the amount of money Rove’s Super Pac, American Crossroads, raised in a failed attempt to defeat President Obama and high-profile Congressional Democrats in 2012.
Trump’s numbers are off a bit, as Rove-backed candidates did win some races. But the former senior aide to George W. Bush was subject to widespread criticism from Republicans for the substantial amount of money he received from high-profile conservatives relative to a modest number of high-profile victories.

LOL. I’m not voting for Trump but I’m enjoying his war on Clown Karl Rove.
I listen to Hannity a lot because it is the only thing I can get on the radio at work. He constantly makes me want to reach into the radio and shake some sense into him. He is well meaning and thinks he is a principled conservative. He tries but he is either ignorant or just not bright or both. He cannot hold up his end of an argument and can’t tell when he is losing badly. His “debates” are just silly. When he has a good guest he uses up most of the time explaining his personal position which is, of course, not what we want to hear when he has an interesting guest. His Penny Plan which he brings up at inappropriate times makes no sense at all given that one congress cannot bind subsequent congresses. His heart is in the right place but his head got left on the kitchen table when he went to work.
I don’t think it’s any secret that Fox always pushes the GOP establishment pick. This whole Trump thing is very refreshing. So many panties to wad. I would add ‘and so little time’ but Trump is the tsunami of panty wadding. This is too much fun to watch.
That is as accurate a description of Sean Hannity as I have ever seen.
I agree with Trump on many things, especially on Karl Rove.
There are a number of Democrats which should removed from the Fox Line-up.
If your opinion of success is not venturing risk, then you will not be successful. In order to be successful, you must also learn from and know that failures, in respect to the overall picture, are inevitable. Obviously, his net worth being the overall picture is a testament to his accepting risk knowing there will be setbacks along the way. The fact that he does not give up and keeps going is more important.
Would I vote for him? No because of his history on the 2nd but also on other social issues, especially abortion. But he has the testicular fortitude to call a spade a spade and live with the consequences of the truth in regards to this ILLEGAL immigration issue. Which in turn has changed the whole debate template on it which has the general public cheering him on this most critical issue.
The fact that his comments are totally counter to the establishment and media template is what is getting him notoriety and totally confusing the template in their view. Essentially, he is spot on with the character portrayed by Jack Nicholson telling the snot-nosed JAG demanding the truth, “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH”.
That is the bottom line to why Trump is so popular. Since he took that stand, the defense of American citizens being murdered by felons who are here illegally has only added to his popularity. Is it a far stretch to say that some measure of divine intervention is at play on this issue? We are taught that our days are numbered by Him and it doesn’t matter if you are in a rubber room or even a bank vault, the numbering of days remains the same. He will call you home on his schedule, no matter what you have planned.
So, keep it up Donald! Maybe, just maybe your new connection with “Joe Six-Pack” is precisely what is needed to emasculate the political establishment Ruling Class because they have so utterly shoved Him to the back of the bus of our nation, founded on Divine Providence, for the worldly 40 pieces of silver of political expediency.
I like the Donald more and more each day.
Ping!
Trump takes FoxNews to the woodshed for keeping Rove on the air.
I like this guy more and more each day.
Here's the thing, though....
If your setbacks are part of your success, it's a bit hypocritical to call someone a loser when they encounter their own. The money Rove lost was not his own. Strangely enough, much of the money lost in subsequent failed ventures, after his initial setbacks, wasn't Trumps either. Does being a better loser of other people's investments actually make him a winner?
Once again...Donald is only saying what everybody knows to be true. Rove is a tool of the governing establishment and is about as conservative as Hillary.
I’d like to see Michelle Malkin on as much as that dopey Rove.
DUMP Rove.
Mr. Trump is correct...AGAIN!
Problem is, he has a terrible weakness on immigration. True, he wants to close the border, but he's also on record for giving illegals already here a path to citizenship. That's the same amnesty position that makes other candidates "dead" for other people here. That, plus the other issues you mentioned are going to be a huge bite in the posterior for them. Hope their tetanus is up to date.
YES ! If you notice Bush does not appear on FOX; instead he sends his minions. The only interview he did was Bret Beir who did a lengthened interview with each candidate when they announce.
Don’t know if he’s calling in to other networks. If not its a big mistake.
Thought Megyn Kelly cut Rove off last week. It appeared she had had enough of his BS. He hasn’t appear on her show since. It may be in their “fair and balanced” attempt the host who draws the shirt straw gets Rove
Did not want you to miss this one
THANKS...I had seen the headline earlier, and was thinking...I've GOT to find a back channel to get Trump the book, in case he's missed it so far.
